Cursors

In overwrite mode, the cursor becomes a reversed rectangle and character
strings delete previously input characters at the cursor position.
Inputting numbers is basically the same as inputting character strings, except
that you cannot change between insert mode and overwrite mode with the
Insert Key. The overwrite mode is always used.
The Home Key can be used to change to 0 any numbers previously input,
and the Minus (–) Key can be used to change between positive and negative
numbers.
The Control Key can be used in combination with other keys to move the cur-
sor, delete characters, and achieve other operations. These combinations
are shown in the following table.
